So (after a weekend break) here's todays WIP Pic:


alarm clock in the background showing time ticking down and yep the clock goes nuts...

'red' things are a test of 3d clicking. possibly how you will place tiles. but not sure yet.

And centre is a card! Originally these were going to be 2d. but I decided on 3d with hand drawn 2d graphics. they fit much better using this style...

I like the fact they are hand drawn but NOT flat. they have a lovely 3d quality to them. Not sure how they will all fit together though

(1 edit)

The cards do look nice. How did you paint them, Krita?m

By the way you are crazy for attempting a custom engine 😂 Good luck to you!

originally they were done in photoshop as 2d art. I was going to use the same system here, but went totally 3d. I took the 2d elements I previously did and added them to my 3d asset sheet. All the graphics are a single 64x64pixel sprites packed into 16x16 (256 in all). I use some custom shaders to decide which is the starting graphic and the size and width.

I also used a custom written sprite editor to draw some of the the other textures. There is a custom 3d app that takes everything and also allows me to create lowpoly models and texture map them very fast.

The shaders also allow me to use different colours when rendering so most of the graphics are in grey. Using this way means I can use the same graphics in different colours giving totally unique looks without loads more work
